Makes 600g

INGREDIENTS

500g Greek whole milk yogurt (optional for dairy-free Greek yogurt)
3-4 large garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
2 Lebanese cucumbers with the skin on, grated
¼ cup fresh mint, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Cucumber: Start by grating the cucumber into a bowl using a large-hole grater. Place the grated cucumber in a fine mesh sieve, kitchen cloth, heavy napkin, nut milk bag, or simply between the palms of your hands, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid watering down your tzatziki.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, minced garlic, fresh mint, and dill, extra virgin olive oil, and white wine vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Let It Rest: For best results, let the tzatziki rest in the fridge for an hour. This allows the flavours to meld together beautifully, though this step is optional if you’re in a rush.
Serve: Serve your chilled tzatziki with vegetables, pita bread, or alongside any main dish like roasted lamb, grilled chicken, souvlaki or steamed fish.

Optional Garnish:
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a visually stunning finish that adds additional flavour.
